  • Patent number: 11332417
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and process for preparing aromatics from syngases, which has advantages of shortened flow process and reduced investment. The process comprises reforming the liquefied gas, separated dry gas with a water steam to produce carbon monoxide and hydrogen, which return, as raw materials, to the aromatization system, so that the problem of by-product utilization is solved, and the syngas unit consumption per ton of aromatic products is reduced. The problem of utilization of a dry gas as a by-product is also solved in the present invention from the perspective of recycling economy, which reduces the water consumption in the process, and conforms to the concept of green chemistry.

  • Patent number: 10076539
    Abstract: This relates to the pharmaceutical use of KOH, in forms of topical, oral drugs or intravenous drip, prepared for treating high blood uric acid, especially gout. The external application refers to footbath in soaking solution or embrocation on attack position. The action of the drugs is also to promote the excretion of uric acid. Compared with colchicine and other drugs, KOH has three notable features. First, it takes effect quickly. No matter being applied by footbath, oral or embrocation, it can relieve symptoms within ten minutes, and the pain during gout attack will be significantly reduced. Second, it takes curative effect quickly. After application of the drugs for 2-3 consecutive days, gout symptoms will completely disappear. Third, it has no side effects. In one respect, with a low concentration, the KOH will not corrode the skin. In a further respect, potassium ion itself is diuretic and it has no harm to kidney.

  • Patent number: 9289755
    Abstract: Methods are provided for synthesizing crystals having a ZSM-5 framework structure from synthesis mixtures suitable for synthesis of ZSM-12 framework structure crystals in the absence of seed crystals with a ZSM-5 framework structure, such as in the absence of any seed crystals. For synthesis mixtures with a sufficiently high XO2:Y2O3 ratio, seeding a synthesis mixture with ZSM-5 seed crystals can result in production of pure phase ZSM-5 crystals with a new morphology. The morphology can include rod-like primary crystallites with a length of about 0.5 ?m or less that are organized/aggregated into larger secondary crystal structures. The aggregation of the primary crystallites into a secondary crystal structure can allow for an unexpectedly large mesoporous surface area for the ZSM-5 crystals.

  • Patent number: 8642493
    Abstract: [Task] To improve activity of a lower hydrocarbon aromatization catalyst and the catalyst stability. [Solving Means] In a method for producing a lower hydrocarbon aromatization catalyst to produce an aromatic compound by a catalytic reaction using a lower hydrocarbon as a raw material, the catalyst includes a metallosilicate on which molybdenum is supported, a silane in 0.75 weight % or more relative to the metallosilicate component is supported, and the catalyst is prepared by conducting a compressive shaping without adding an inorganic binder that binds particles of the catalyst. As a result, the lower hydrocarbon aromatization catalyst maintains a sufficient shape-retaining property even by a compressive shaping in a binderless manner. Stability of the catalyst and activity of the catalyst improve by subjecting the lower hydrocarbon aromatization catalyst to a compressive shaping in a binderless manner. Its advantageous effect is conspicuous when the amount of addition in terms of silicon oxide is 0.

  • Patent number: 8614160
    Abstract: Catalyst compositions comprising a siliceous zeolite component, either in separately formed catalyst particles or dispersed in the same binder or matrix as other zeolites of the compositions, are described. The catalyst compositions, for example as blends of three different bound zeolite catalysts, are particularly useful in fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) processes due to the reductions in coke and dry gas yields that allow FCC throughput, which is normally constrained by gas handling and/or catalyst regeneration capacity, to be increased.
